I've heard such great reviews on these eyeshadow palettes from CoverGirl.

I always say purchase one and test out the product before you purchase more. I wanted to purchase just Goldens but I had a coupon, and it was cheaper to get two than one. Then I won a giveaway from CoverGirl Instagram and won the Roses. Basically, I have all three. For this post, I will review Goldens.

Ingredients:

Thoughts: I've heard these palettes are comparable to Urban Decay Naked palettes. Out of all three from CoverGirl, Goldens is the only one that doesn't match any of the palettes. For that reason, I wanted Goldens.

Here's how the palette looks open. It doesn't come with a mirror.

Here's a closer look at the eyeshadows from left to right; Creme, Chiffon Mousseline, Cookie Biscuit, Sunkissed Soleil Couchant, Camel, Ginger, Ecru, and Sierra.

Here's a closer look at one of the eyeshadows. This is the sixth one from the left.

It comes with one double-ended sponge applicator.

Now for swatches...

Here's the first three from the left on my hand; Creme, Chiffon Mousseline, and Cookie Biscuit.

Here's fourth to sixth on my hand; Sunkissed Soleil Couchant, Camel, and Ginger.

Here's the last two from the left on my hand; Ecru and Sierra.

Now for looks I did with the palette...
Look #1:

I have Chiffon Mousseline (second from left) on the lid, blended it out with Cookie Biscuit (third from the left) on the crease, and Sierra (last one from the right) on the outer v.

Here's an overall look and I cannot remember what I have on my lips.

Look #2:

I have Sunkissed Soleil Couchant (fourth from the left) on the lid and Sierra (last one from the left) on the crease and outer v.

Here's the same look from a different angle.

Here's an overall look with Too Faced Melted Chocolate in Chocolate Milkshake on the lip.

Look #3:

I have Ginger (sixth one from the left) on the lid and blended it out with Sierra (last one on the right) on the crease and outer v.

Here's an overall look and I cannot remember what I have on my lips.

Now for my overall opinion... First of all, I'm not too keen on the packaging. It's just personal taste but it just doesn't appeal to my eyes. With that said, this palette doesn't come with a mirror. This wouldn't be travel-friendly to someone who carries their eyeshadows. For someone like me who doesn't travel and apply makeup at home, it's fine. I have a full-size mirror at home. Secondly, the consistency is very smooth and buttery. It's easy to grab with your finger and brush. Compared to Urban Decay Naked palettes, I think this is more buttery. On the other hand, Urban Decay Naked palettes are more compact. There's hardly any fall-outs. There isn't that much fall-out with the CoverGirl TruNaked palette but compared to Urban Decay, this is less compact. I don't see CoverGirl breaking unless you are brutal. Third, the pigmentation is amazing! Not all of them are pigmented, but I find the shimmery ones the best. They're opaque and up with Urban Decay. The mattes on the other hand needs to be built up. With that said, this palette is extremely versatile. You don't need extra shadows or palettes. All the colors are in one. You can apply from the lid to highlight. Fourth, the colors mix and blend well together. I've seen some palettes that you blend together and it looks like one color on the eyes. You can distinguish the colors but they match well together. Lastly, they lasted all day. The colors did not fade, and there were no smudging and creasing. Even though I'm not a big fan of the packaging, the quality of the palette is so worth it!

Pros:
* Smooth and buttery consistency.
* Easy to grab.
* Easy to use.
* Hardly any fall-outs.
* Strongly compacted that cannot see it breaking.
* Pigmented.
* Versatile; all in one compact.
* Mix and blend well.
* Lasted all day.
* Did not fade.
* No smudging.
* No creasing.

Cons:
* No mirror.
* Mattes need to be built up.

Would repurchase: Yes!
